Practice Model: Independent, Physician-Owned, Democratic EM Group | Partnership Eligible After Approximately 18 Months
Join The Emergency Group (TEG), an independent physician-owned emergency medicine practice serving United Regional Health Care System since 1999. This rare opening is the result of succession planning within a highly stable group where physicians build careers, become owners, and actively participate in hospital leadership.
Why This Emergency Medicine Job Stands Out TEG is seeking one to two physicians who want more than a shift-based job. The group is looking for future partners committed to Wichita Falls, the hospital, and the community.

- Partnership eligibility after approximately 18 months
- Quarterly bonuses begin after hire
